When the horse arrived at the nearby state city of Chongzhou, Lu Mingshuang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was no danger.

After straightening her clothes, she removed the face towel and was stopped as soon as she approached the door of the governor's house.

Seeing that Lu Mingshuang was dressed in black, the waiter couldn't help but be a little more vigilant, "Who are you?" What are you here for? ”

Lu Mingshuang politely replied: "When the grass people come to find Lord Zhou Mu, you only need to inform Zheng Tong's name." ”

The two attendants glanced at each other and lowered the hand that had stopped her.

A moment later, Lu Mingshuang was invited into the mansion.

She looked around, the state governor's mansion was magnificent, and it was not much more reckless than the royal mansion. Chongzhou Governor Chu Yixi has a square and round face, not like a state pastor, but like a rich family. However, I heard that he likes to make money, and this image is also appropriate.

Chu Yixi was first startled when she saw Lu Mingshuang, and then a little unhappy, "You are not Zheng Tong, why do you want to report Zheng Tong's name?" ”

Lu Mingshuang arched his hand and said: "The grass people are friends of Zhengzhou herdsmen, and now that Youzhou is in trouble, I also ask the state pastor to donate generously." ”

Chu Yixi's face changed, and he asked cautiously, "Generous?" ”

Lu Mingshuang nodded and said, "Presumably, my lord has also heard that Youzhou was besieged by barbarians, and it was already difficult for the grass people to come out this time." ”

"Youzhou Mu and the soldiers are besieged in it, and now the grain and grass have become the biggest obstacle, I implore the state pastor to help, as long as the urgent need of Youzhou is solved, you will definitely come to thank and remember the grace of the adults."

Chu Yixi frowned, his face a little embarrassed.

He took a sip of tea, his eyes drifting, "I have indeed heard a little about this matter, but I am not helpless now, but I have more than enough strength to do it." ”

With his eyelashes moving slightly, Lu Mingshuang looked at Chu Yixi, who was a little white on the sideburns opposite: "What do you mean by this, my lord?" Forgive the grass people for being stupid. ”

Chu Yixi touched his beard and sighed with emotion: "Zheng Tong and I are also good friends, one side is in trouble, and all parties support." It stands to reason that he is now besieged, and I should immediately send troops to send food to save him from fire and water, but as the governor of Yanzhou, how can I disregard the people for my own selfishness? ”

Oh, to make a move is to disregard one's own selfishness, and not to make a move is to be righteous and awe-inspiring.

With a hint of ridicule in his eyes, Lu Mingshuang looked at this honest but cunning person lightly, and smiled slightly, "The state pastor has already said this, and the grass people are not good at forcing it anymore, so I will disturb it today." ”

Chu Yixi waved his hand and looked apologetic: "Apologize for me and Zheng Daodao, I couldn't help him." ”

Out of the mansion, Lu Mingshuang looked up at the plaque, and a almost imperceptible mockery crossed his eyes.

Walking to the inn on the side, she chose a room to live in, and it was not surprising that she could not be persuaded to go out of the city at such a great risk.

This is the case in the officialdom, where one side favors all parties and all parties are silent, and one side is in trouble.

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Mingshuang took a short rest in the guest room first, and did not leave together until Shen Yu came here in the middle of the night.

After covering the black scarf, Shen Yu grabbed Lu Mingshuang's waist and jumped down from the window.

"What did Chu Yixi say?" Shen Yu asked softly.

Lu Mingshuang shook his head, "The rhetoric of officialdom has no substantive effect. ”

"Nothing." Shen Yu replied in a deep voice, and took Lu Mingshuang all the way to the eaves and walked towards the Chongzhou Mu Mansion.

In just a moment, they quietly landed on the side of the study in the mansion, next to the cold wall, and there was a hint of chill.

The candles in the study were bright, and the sound of conversation was faintly heard.

"Today, the minister has rejected the people sent by Zheng Tong to ask for support, and the minister's loyalty to the emperor and the queen mother can be seen."

The rough voice fell into her ears, Lu Mingshuang frowned, this was Chu Yixi's voice, she recognized it.

It seems that Chu Yixi has already colluded with the Queen Mother, even if she puts forward good conditions, he will not waver.

Lu Mingshuang narrowed her eyes, and a touch of murderous intent burst out from her eyes.

"As long as you act in accordance with the will of the imperial court, you will never lose your benefits, promotion and knighthood are trivial matters, the key depends on how you do it, and those who know the times are handsome."

There was a chuckle from inside, "Don't worry, my lord, the minister has already intercepted and killed the messenger sent by Zheng Tong halfway, and he will never let them have a chance." ”

"As long as the king of Yuan'an can die in this war, you will have great merit, and you will definitely be appointed as a Beijing official at that time, and you must not let the queen mother down."

The dog-legged voice came again: "Certainly, please also ask the minister to help the minister say a few kind words in front of the queen mother, and the minister has thanked the lord in advance." ”

Hearing this, Lu Mingshuang clenched his hands into fists, his nails sank into his palms, and he was very angry in his heart.
